WALL-MOUNTED PERGOLAS
DUBLIN
Premium aluminium pergolas attached to your house, extending your patio and back door into a sheltered outdoor room you can use all year round.
PERGOLAS ATTACHED TO YOUR HOUSE
A wall-mounted pergola is the smartest way to add usable outdoor space to a Dublin home. Rather than standing alone in the middle of the garden, it fixes along one side to your house wall and reaches out over the patio, creating a seamless, sheltered link between your kitchen or living room and the garden beyond. The result is a premium aluminium pergola attached to your house that feels like a genuine extension of your living space.
HOW A WALL-MOUNTED PERGOLA WORKS
A lean-to design that fixes to the house on one side and turns an exposed patio into a sheltered, all-weather outdoor room.
Fixes To The House Wall
A wall-mounted pergola attaches along one long edge to the back wall of your home using a structural wall plate. Only two outer posts sit in the garden, so the frame reads as a natural extension of the house rather than a freestanding structure.
Extends The Patio Into A Room
By bridging the gap between your back door and the garden, a pergola attached to your house turns an exposed patio into a sheltered outdoor room you can use through Dublin's wet and windy months.
Shelters The Back Door
Rain is led away from the wall and door threshold through an integrated gutter and downpipe built into the frame, keeping the entrance to your home dry and protected all year.
Lean-To Geometry
The roof slopes gently away from the wall in a classic lean-to profile, shedding rainwater efficiently while keeping a low, elegant line that suits both period and modern Dublin homes.
PERFECT FOR DUBLIN HOMES
Most Dublin homes are terraced or semi-detached, with rear gardens that are long and narrow rather than wide and open. A pergola attached to your house is the ideal answer: because it leans against the existing wall and only needs two outer posts, it makes the most of a compact patio without crowding it.
Whether you have a Victorian red-brick in Rathmines, a semi-detached in Stillorgan or a modern townhouse in Grand Canal Dock, a wall-mounted aluminium pergola creates a sheltered outdoor room right outside the back door, perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dining or relaxing in the evening regardless of the weather.
STRUCTURAL FIXING & WEATHERPROOFING
Fixing a pergola to your house properly is what separates a premium installation from a leaky afterthought.
Structural Wall Plate
A heavy-duty aluminium wall plate is through-bolted into solid masonry or a reinforced wall plate, spreading the load safely across the structure of your home so the pergola carries snow, wind and roof weight without strain.
Flashing & Sealing
Where the pergola meets the wall, we dress in lead or aluminium flashing and seal the junction so rainwater is directed forward into the frame, never allowed to track down behind the structure and into the wall.
Integrated Drainage
A concealed gutter runs along the wall edge and feeds an internal downpipe hidden inside a post, carrying rainwater away from the house and keeping your patio and back door dry all year.
ROOF & CLOSING OPTIONS
Choose how much shelter you want. Every wall-mounted pergola can be specified with a louvred roof, fixed glass, or side screens and blinds.
Louvred Roof
Motorised aluminium louvres rotate to let in sun or close fully against rain. The most flexible option for a wall-mounted pergola, giving you full control of light and shelter from a remote.
Glass Roof
A fixed glass roof against the house wall floods your new room with daylight while staying 100% watertight. Perfect where you want a bright, conservatory-style feel without losing the view of the sky.
Side Screens & Blinds
Glass sliding walls, zip blinds and side screens close in the open sides of the pergola, blocking wind and turning the structure into a genuinely usable three-season space.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Because a wall-mounted pergola attaches to the house and can sit close to a boundary, the planning rules can be tighter than for a freestanding garden pergola. We take care of the detail so you don't have to.
Exempted Development
Many lean-to pergolas fall within exempted development limits, but the height, the proportion of your rear garden covered, and the distance to neighbouring boundaries all affect whether you stay exempt.
Boundary & Neighbours
When a pergola attached to your house sits near a party wall or boundary, overlooking and shading of neighbouring gardens can come into play. We design to keep your project neighbourly and compliant.
Protected Structures
If your home is a protected structure or sits within a conservation area or Architectural Conservation Area, additional consent is usually required. We handle heritage-sensitive Dublin properties regularly.
We Handle The Paperwork
Where planning permission is needed, we prepare drawings and manage the application on your behalf, so the route from idea to finished pergola stays smooth and stress-free.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is a wall-mounted pergola attached to your house?
A wall-mounted pergola is fixed along one side to the back wall of your home using a structural aluminium wall plate, which is through-bolted into the masonry or a reinforced timber wall plate. The two outer corners are supported by posts set on concrete footings. We always install a weatherproof flashing where the pergola meets the wall so rain is directed into the frame's integrated gutter rather than running behind it.
What's the difference between a wall-mounted and a freestanding pergola?
A freestanding pergola stands on four or more of its own posts and can go anywhere in the garden. A wall-mounted (or lean-to) pergola fixes to the house along one edge and only needs posts on the outer side, so it sits flush against the building and feels like an extension of your living space. Wall-mounted designs are ideal for smaller Dublin patios where you want shelter right outside the back door.
Will fixing a pergola to my house cause damp or leaks?
Not when it's installed correctly. We seal the junction between the pergola and your wall with proper lead or aluminium flashing dressed into the masonry, and the frame carries its own concealed gutter and downpipe. This means rainwater is collected and channelled away from the wall and door threshold, so a well-fitted wall-mounted pergola actually protects the wall it attaches to.
Do I need planning permission for a pergola attached to my house in Dublin?
Many wall-mounted pergolas fall within exempted development limits, but because the structure attaches to the house and may sit close to a boundary, the rules can be stricter than for a freestanding garden pergola. Height, the area of the rear garden it covers, and proximity to neighbours all matter. We assess each project against current Dublin planning guidance and help with an application where one is needed.
Are these pergolas suitable for a terraced or semi-detached Dublin home?
Yes, wall-mounted pergolas are perfectly suited to terraced and semi-detached homes. Because the structure leans against the existing house wall and only needs two outer posts, it makes excellent use of a narrow or compact rear garden while leaving the centre of the patio open and uncluttered.
How much does a wall-mounted aluminium pergola cost in Dublin?
A wall-mounted aluminium pergola in Dublin typically costs between €5,000 and €18,000, depending on size, the roof system you choose, and whether you add glass walls, blinds or lighting. A simple lean-to frame sits at the lower end, while a fully motorised louvred roof with integrated screens and LEDs sits towards the top. We provide a detailed, fixed quote after a free site visit.
